The first vice-president of the Republican Party of Armenia, Vigen Sargsyan, who heads the RPA electoral list, has invited the Acting Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, the leader of "My Step" bloc to a debate. He mentioned several conditions.

"Taking into account the fact that for the third consecutive day you are building your campaign against the Republicans, deepening your vicious policy of dividing the society into blacks and whites, as well as the fact that during the campaign you allow the worst and indecent flow of the electoral process, I consider it necessary to have a bilateral debate of the electoral list leaders on RPA – My step format by preserving my commitment to participate in a public debate of the candidates leading the electoral lists of the parties.

I propose to debate through three TV channels (public and one of your and one of my choice), with two presenters (one of your and one of my choice), on 4-6 topics (the half by your, and the half by my choice) with the opportunity to ask each other questions. Taking into account your work overload, I leave the choice of the debate day toyou," Vigen Sargsyan wrote on his Facebook page.
